George Washington and other "founders" are superheroes to white folks, so of course they are to blacks as well. You are taught to believe in them and their ideas, the sun shined out of their asses as far as you know.
White people can't envision Jesus being anything other than white, so of course a lot of blacks think Jesus was white. Christianity was spread by racists whether those racists believed in slavery or not, so of course they aren't going to tell people Jesus may have been the same color as an African or an Arab. Hell most of them can't conceive it but blacks have no idea what color a hebrew or a roman was, so if white folks say they were white then hey, they must have been white.
The ancient African always drew their Gods with skin similar to their own, whites do the same. If you see a man's face on your money, carved into a mountain, or large monuments constructed in his honor you tend to believe that those people are far greater and more important than others.
That's on a large scale, now looking at it more close to home: when it comes to local government and local authorities you will traditionally think of whites.
There used to be a time where most of the police officers where white, when you got arrested by the white cop, you had to stand in front of a white judge, after the white judge sentences you and you're sent to prison the prison guards and wardens are white.
There was a time when the majority of your elementary schoolteachers where white, high school teachers where white and your college professors where white.
It was entirely possible for people during our grandparents day to go their whole lives being answerable to white people for something....anything.
This is where the idea that white folks run everything come from. Some of our grandparents couldn't and didn't see blacks in any position of authority, only servants and sidekicks, and so many of them just "wanted to get along" that they learned to have a "healthy respect" (fear) of white folks.
Oh you don't fear white folks? Look at Emmitt Till, Martin Luther King Jr, look at who beat the shit out of the Freedom Riders and other agitators. Look at how a white man can kill a black one and not be punished.
Its learned behavior. A lot of blacks where taught to fear whites and to glorify their accomplishments. This is also why a lot of militant negroes look to Africa for things to glorify in the name of blackness. A lot of our parents and grandparents didn't have much in the way of showing blacks doing well in America, so they looked to how great blacks did in Africa and other countries.
Even W.E.B. DuBois when he was attempting to counter the coon/sambo images whites where showing of blacks he went to Europe. He found upper crust blacks in Europe to show that blacks aren't watermelon eating savages the world over but that it was just white power propaganda.
More people are beginning to fight it and counter it these days than in days of the past. That's for damn sure.
